I had a great quiet time today with God. I don’t know about you but I have found that when I put God first, my day seems to just go so much better. I was reading in I John 4:12
“No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.”
God is the all supreme being that we can’t physically see but see his attributes and goodness all the time. God’s love is the most incredible thing in the world. He gives and just continually gives to anyone and everyone. I love the part of this verse that says “His love is brought to FULL EXPRESSION in us.” I cannot even fathom what that would look like. I have been trying to imagine his love being in full expression but just can’t seem to get there. I bet that if I ever arrive at that point it would be the most amazing experience that I would ever have in my life. I guess that I haven’t gotten to the point of realizing this because I haven’t “Loved each other.” I don’t know about you but this is an area that I have continually struggled with in life. Don’t get me wrong I love people but not like how God loves people and would be willing to give up his son’s life for people that don’t even like him. That is a pretty intense love for others.
My prayer today is that God would help me love like he has loved me. It has been so pure and unconditional, that even though I do stupid things and turn my back on it at times He is always there waiting with open arms to love me once again.
